Turn on in theme first

Leave Heading empty for “Sale ends in” in the shopper's language. Show only in the last keeps it hidden until the sale's final hours; Urgent in the last turns it the urgent color with a gentle pulse.
Add the announcement banner
Turn on Show an announcement banner on my store and choose When: While one of my sales runs, Between two dates or Always. Set its Words, Link, Where, Size and colors; Show the time left adds a countdown.

Click Save, then open a product in a running sale in your store.
Tips
- With While one of my sales runs and no words of your own, the banner says the sale's discount in the shopper's language.
- Shoppers can close it adds a × that hides the banner for the rest of their visit.
- Storefront safe mode hides the countdown, the banner and the badges at once.
What to check
- The countdown shows only for variants in a running sale.
- The low stock badge counts the chosen variant on a product page; a card adds up all the product's variants.
Common mistakes
- Expecting the stock badge on products that don't track stock or keep selling when out of stock: it never shows there.
- Expecting the banner when no sale runs with When set to While one of my sales runs: then nothing shows.
The plan you need
On the Free planThe countdown timer is on every plan. The announcement banner and the Only N left badge are on Pro and Business.
Your questions
Is the stock number real?
Yes. It is your store's real stock from Shopify, checked each time the page loads. No made-up views or timers.
Does the countdown show on every product?
No. It shows only for variants in a running sale, and only once the app is turned on in your theme.
